[quote=Anonymous]watch her dance, OP.  i was the chubby, awkward kid in my dance classes growing up.  i thought it was fun and could see myself getting better even though i was never the best dancer.  my enthusiasm fizzled in my teens and i dropped out of dance around age 16 because i had other things i was into, but i remember that time fondly.  (AND, given my natural lack of rhythm, balance and grace, i'm convinced its the only reason i can walk more or less upright in a pair of heels for short periods of time).  music is fun, dance is fun, and even if you aren't ever going to be a professional, you can learn some valuable skills and, with support, some confidence in your ability to get better.  anyway, TALK to your daughter.  and the teacher.  if your daughter is having fun, stick with it.

it sure as hell never occurred to me that my parents might be embarrassed by my lack of aptitude.  they brought the same cheerleader attitude to my dance recitals that they did to horseshows and quizbowl (both of which i was pretty good at!)  and there are some hilarious videos that everyone thought were a hoot at my wedding.  no shit.[/quote]
